Ovi Player library

Hi,
I'm trying (and trying, and trying) to get Ovi Player to work properly. I might be really fu''''ng dumb, but why does my library contain more and more duplicates and non-working songs?
Ok, i get that it's because i've moved around _alot_ of music files, renamed, retagged, and so on and so forth - but why dosn't Ovi Player get it? Is there a big red "UPDATE LIBRARY NOW AND REMOVE OUTDATED STUFF *BEEP BEEP*"-button somewhere that i'm just... not... seeing?
My last not-so-genious move was to manually try to delete all 15000 songs from the library. Which - of course - made the program freeze, steadily chunking away at 40-60% of my cpu (the other 40-50% is ocupated by that nice little useless NokiaMserver.exe thingie)
NokiaMserver.exe. W-T-F-?! If i'm using a good app like, say, Songbird, my laptop goes to it's knees immediately - especially if i'm retagging stuff, or something similar. Seriously, 30-40% cpu? without me running a Nokia app and having no intention of hooking up my phone for the moment?
And... my laptop isn't allt bad, P8400 cpu, 4 gig ram..
I would appreciate a bit of help. :-)
Thanks!
(and don't get me started on the battery life of my N86, or how often it freezes with the only solution being removing the battery, or the non-working GPS, or one of a kazillion more little annoyances. Yeh, it did indeed have a shutter for the 8mp-camera, but man... why didn't i get that SE w995 anyway.)
EDIT:
And the Album Art fetcher/reader... is pretty damn arbitrary.
"Oh, you've got a cover for that album! Hey, do you want me to send that yo the phone along with the album? Hm, i dunno... maybe! .... mkay?"
"Hey, i can fetch a cover for those albums/songs/whatever... wantmetowantmetowantmeto? Ok! Here's a picture for you! Do you like it? Whaddyamean 'its the wrong picture'? Yeh, yeh, i know, it's the same picture all over the place, for dozens of different albums, and not one right, but you know... It IS a picture after all, take what you can get."

depends how knackered your file system is & how much music you have, as to whether it'll be quick/easy, but one thing that does seem to work is if you make sure that your 'music folder location' in ovi player is correct & then delete the albums etc with duplicates in them from inside ovi player, choosing delete from 'my music collection only'. the album will then disappear from ovi player, but when you close & restart ovi player it will rebuild its lists based on whatever is actually in your music folder location - if there's only one album, it will now only reimport that album with no duplicates etc
wouldn't advise deleting too many at one time though, since ovi will have to reimport a lot of tracks when you restart it - & ovi doesn't seem to be the most stable application at the best of times . . .

Ovi Player only displays .mp3 files on my N97

Hi all,
I'm having problems with Ovi Player. First it caused severe problems with my music library app on the phone, which wasn't able to read any files from the file system. I managed to fix this by formatting the whole mass storage.
Later, after importing music files from PC to N97, Ovi Player doesn't display any.m4a files (which I ripped from original CDs using the very same application!), only .mp3 ones. Any ideas on possible causes and solutions?

Ovi player feedback

Hi
I have some feedback and requests on the Ovi player and didn't know where to send it so I just post it here. I like the simple clean style of the player and
1. First and foremost is the syncing. I have a N97 so I can store all my music on the phone. So I set Ovi player to transfer all my music to the phone and so it does. The problem is that every time I connect the phone it starts all over again and transfer all my music to the phone even though it's already there. And it does not ask if I want to overwrite the existing files. I know I can set it to only transfer latest added music but it is the same thing there, even if I've transfered it once it keeps transfering it every time I connect the phone. I think it would be an appriciated option to be able to set the phone to completely mimic what I have on the computer. That way I can change and re-arrange however I like on the computer and this will be transfered to the phone. To sum up: Ovi player needs a more intelligent sync that reckognises whats already on my phone and an option to keep the phone and computer library identical.
2. Album art seems to be quite low-res after being optimised. Maybe this is not a problem for phones with smaller display, but for the N97 you definately notice it.
Thanks
Josef

Hi Josef,
I'm having similar problems with Ovi Player. Syncing is difficult to manage, I've tried various methods to work-around this, but all involve manual processes without than any assistance from the application.
The performance is also horrific, I'm running on Windows XP on a fairly high spec. machine and every other appliance runs fine. Ovi Player seems to kill the CPU as soon as it's opened, it also crashes frequently, especially when trying to delete off unwanted tracks.
On the whole it's not good at all. If anyone knows of any other software that can be used to manage the music on my 5800 I'd like to know. It's a 'Comes with Music' phone so I fear because of the licensing I'm stuck with it.
Any advise kindly received.
Dave

Nokia Ovi Player License Problem(Need Help Asap)

Greetings to everyone,
I am using nokia ovi player to download songs as I have gt the license to do so since i bought an X6 but now after i have restored my laptop i was told to redownload DRM by the ovi player.The problem is it does not want to download DRM as an error comes out that states it is not authorised to use the computer.Can anyhere here help me to solve this problem??
Thanks

@teishi: If you have been in contact with the contact centre, and they have confirmed that the device you are using is in fact associated with your account, next step would be for you to delete the "drm folder" on your PC:
DRM is an acronym for Digital Rights Management, a broad term used to describe a number of techniques for restricting the free use and transfer of digital content. DRM is used in the Nokia Music Store application. Occasionally you may receive an error which specifies a problem with the Digital Rigths Management.
This problem suggests that the DRM component of Windows is corrupt and is not recognising that you have a license in order to allow you to play, burn or transfer the tracks that you have downloaded. In order to correct this error message you will need to reset the DRM folder on your PC. This is accomplished by first renaming the folder and then relaunching the track you are having difficulty with. To complete this process first close the Nokia Music application and/or Windows Media player then follow the steps below:
Double Click on My Computer.
Double click on C: The DRM folder in both Windows XP and Vista is hidden by default so you will need to take the following steps to make it visible:
Click Start, then Run.
Type control folders in the box and press Enter.
In the window that appears, select the View tab.
Select Show hidden files and folders.
Deselect Hide protected operating system files/folders.
Deselect Hide extensions for know file types
If you are using Windows XP, Browse to C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/DRM for Vista go to C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/DRM
Right click on the DRM folder and choose rename.
Rename the folder to DRMBACKUP [or something similar] Occasionally, attempting to rename this folder will cause an Access Denied error. If this occurs, follow the below steps otherwise continue to step 6.
Reset the DRM security component by going to http://go.microsoft.com/FWLink?LinkID=34506 and Clicking upgrade to upgrade the DRM security component Note: If the Upgrade button is greyed out You may need to install the Active -X control by right clicking on the security banner at the top of the windo and choosing Run Active X Control then clicking Run when the security window pops up.
Note: When you access this site through Internet Explorer on a Windows Vista-based computer, you may receive a user account control popup message that requires that you enter the administrator password to continue.
Note: If you are running Windows Vista x64 and the Upgrade button on the site listed earlier in this step appears dimmed, you will have to start Internet Explorer by using an account on the computer that has Administrative privileges in order to continue.
If the DRM protected tracks from Nokia Music Store are now played, your system will perform a security upgrade, which resets all the necessary DRM files. Each track requests a new license when first played.
If you are still receiving the error message, the DRM component can be manually installed from http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/crlupdate/en/crlupdate.html (Use Internet Explorer for this link). Once upgraded, try to play your downloaded tracks again. Each track should then request a new license when you first play it and will then play as normal and should be burnable to CD This will download new licenses for your entire library.
For additional information on DRM visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management
if this does not help, try to format your memory card and/or mass memory of you phone.
let me know if it doesn't help!

Possible to let Ovi Player detect songs already on...

Well, I currently use iTunes Agent in order to sync my Itunes playlist to my phone using the Mass Storage mode.
However, I noticed that such songs do not get detected by the Ovi Player at all. I want to use Ovi Player in order to create playlists easily on my Nokia 5800 (it's hard marking individual songs to the playlist in the phone itself).
However, it seems that the Ovi Player is unable to detect songs in such a mode.
Why is this so?
I find this rather frustrating since the Mass Storage mode has far faster file transfer rates than in the PC Suite mode. Also, does this mean that if I reformat my computer or use another computer then Ovi Player would once again be unable to detect my songs on my fone?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ovi Player only supports MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) devices. This is required to ensure that the tracks are copied along with the licenses. In Mass storage mode, the files are copied on a bit by bit bases, which will not create a license on the phone. MTP is a wellknown standard for media transfers. Most of the Phones and MP3 players have MTP support and they all work with Ovi Player without any problems.
If you transfer the songs/playlist using the Mass Storage Mode, then refresh the music library on the Phone first and then connect the phone to Ovi Player. I would not suggest you to transfer Playlist using this method as it will not work on the Phone. It will be easy for you to create a playlist in Ovi Player and transfer it to the phone using Ovi Player. This will ensure that all the songs and the playlist are copied in a proper format, so that phone will be able to play it.

Ovi Player Crash

Another issue to raise regarding nokia's lousy software. After giving up on Ovi Suite now seeing as nobody can identify why my phone crashes when I set to pc suite mode I re-installed ovi player, but alas, it crashes eveytime I try to load it.
How can they call it a smart phone, it'snot even from a "smart" company, any one who owns one will know that the user has to be smart just to be able to use the basic features on this so so disappointing phone. The phone itself is as unpredictable as loading a game on the Commodore 64 was. I've lost count how many times it has either turned itself off or just froze with uresponsive touch screen or unock button.
How I wish i had bought an i phone now.

Could you please check, if this could help ?
1) Connect the phone in "Data transfer" mode to your PC.
2) Delete the two files in "E:\private\101FFC31" (called "mpxv1.mpd" and "pcv5.mpd").
3) Delete the files in "E:\private\101ffca9" (called "harvesterdb.dat").
4) Disconnect the phone from the PC and run the Music Player on the phone.
5) Wait a while for the app to startup. It will be rebuilding the library......
6) Just to be sure, select "Refresh".

Having problems installing Ovi player.

This problem would not happen if I did not format my PC.
After format using Vista SP2, I can't install my Ovi Player but before the format it was fine.
The installation starts normally but until half way the downloading process the status turns to fail and says network error.
What is the problem ?
I have tried every solution on the internet. From turning off all anti virus programs to deleting files in registry.

How to change default Ovi Player store ...

Hi,
I need help from you people.
I had installed Ovi Player. Whenever I try to open Ovi Player, the default store gets’ open is "India". I change the store location to "Germany". When I do the search for particular music, it will again take me to "India" store instead of "Germany" store. In addition, most annoying is that I have to re-login but my user id and password will not work as its different store. Also when I go via music.nokia.de and try to login, it open Ovi player and since default location is "India", it takes me to India store and my login credentials do not work.
I ask Nokia care on how to change default Ovi Player Store location but they are unable to provide any good answer.
I already un-install / re-installed but won't work. Do any of you have answer to my problem? I want my default Ovi Player location to be "Germany" instead of "India".
More information, my regional settings have location as “Germany” and language as “English”.
Please help.
Thanks for your response.

I had got message from Nokia on how to correct this issue. This had solved the problem. Below is the mail from them ...
Dear Chakraborty,
Thank you for your response.
This error is sometimes caused by a corrupted MDataStore.db3 file used by the Ovi Player. This file will need to be deleted with the Ovi Player closed. Then open the player and the datastore file will be rewritten by the application:
Close Ovi Music Player and delete the MDataStore.db3 file:
Vista C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
Both of these locations are in hidden folders. So, to view them users will need to:
Open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders
Once Ovi Music is opened again the MDataStore.db3 file will be rewritten to this folder.
  After that manipulation try to install the Ovi Player once again:

Why can't I get my songs from the computer in our media player library, (ripped from a c.d., ) to sync to the iPod?

Why can't I transfer my music on my computer, media player library, onto the iPod touch? it won't let me sync the songs.??

One thing to consider is this ...what are the files formatted in ? If you ripped your CD's via Windows Media Player default settings , they're in 128k Windows Media Audio files . These files must be converted by iTunes before being allowed into the library .

N97 mini + Ovi Player + Memory Card

Hi,
I cannot find how to transfer music with Ovi Player just inside the Memory Card "F" of the N97 mini and NOT inside the Mass Memory. How can I set the Ovi Player to do that?

Similar problem here. Havn't used ovi player in a while but when I open it now, Message stating "Nokia Ovi Player has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I am running Vista and Ovi Suite seems to be working correctly? Any Suggestions?

Ovi Player Download Speed

Since receiving the last Ovi player updates for my PC, it cannot download more than one song at a time even though I can create a download list of as many songs as I like. The download speed also seems to have slowed. Previously I was on ADSL1 and now im on ADSL2. This seems to have stemmed from the last Ovi Player updates released in which prior to this update I could download as many tracks as I wanted simultaneously.
Nokias response to me was this is due to Windows XP Service Pack 3 which I highly doubt. Has any else had this sort of issue or know of any resolution.
Thanks.

Understand your problem.. but would suggest you to use the 'Contact Us' tab at the top of this page .. Atleast you can try getting the 7 balance songs that way..( i.e.If you are interested..)..

No search in new Ovi Player - Music Store tab

I like the new colors and the functionality of the new Ovi Player. It's faster than the old version, and the initial hiccup with the unstartable version is resolved, but it seems somebody in the development dep't got dazed by the new design and forgot about the functionality.
There's no Search box when you're in the Music Store tab, which means you can't search for music when you're on the store tab...
The browser verision has the search tools above the main store.
I seem to remember there was a search control in the old Nokia Music ver 1.3 above the store window, but I'm sure it's quite gone now

hello, first please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
